How do you replace the rear wheel bearing of the Smart Fortwo?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Bearing

In order to replace the rear wheel bearing of the Smart Fortwo, you need to lift the car using a jack and then loosen the bolts that secure the rear wheel to its housing. The wheel can then be removed, and the bolts securing the corresponding brake drum can be loosened; now, it will be possible to proceed by removing the bearing from its seat in the center of the semi-axle. Once the old bearing has been removed, the new one can be inserted and then all the removed components can be reassembled.
